In case you haven’t heard, Amazon started offering DRM (Digital Rights Management) free music for sale on its website, AmazonMP3. With most tracks at only 89 cents and a catalog that rivals iTunes’, Amazon is quickly becoming a leader in the online music biz. And what’s even more awesome: as of today, their specialized album downloader (which allows discounts for purchasing a whole record) is fully supported on Linux. Packages are provided for Ubuntu, Debian, Fedora, and OpenSuse. I haven’t had chance to actually download an album yet, but the app installed fine on my Ubuntu system.

Have a look, because this kind of freedom is unprecedented in the mainstream music arena. Kudos, Amazon!
